^O the people ot St. Louis and the great 
southwest, Minnesota sends Greeting ! 
With a cool, 111. icing-, invigorating atmos- 
pheie iich in ozone nid oxygen, equaled nowhere 
else III the woild in its life-giving properties, and 
with an attractiveness of scenery unsurpassed in 
loveliness and interest, Minnesota offers to the 
tourist and the invalid a hearty welcome, confident 
that the one will surely find rest and enjoyment, 
and the other that much coveted of earthly bless- 
ings — health. 

Her scenery is varied and attractive. Lakes, 
quiet and unobtrusive, meet one at every turn and 
captivate the seeker after rest and health and; the 
lover of the beautiful by their shady banks and 
little bits of waterscapes, forming an aggregation 
of all that tends to make a beautiful picture set in 
a frame of foliage of the loveliest hue. One finds 



MINNESOTA. 






il 



m 



nothing to remind him of the sublimity of the Rockies 
or the Sierras, nor the expanse of ocean, but rather a com- 
mingling of lake and wood and prairie, forming a beautiful 
garden spot, wherein can be culled the sweetest and fairest 
tlowers without exertion, and . wherein nature exhibits 
only peace and contentment. 

We would not convey the impression that Minnesota 
scenery is tame or commonplace, for such is not a fact. 
Grand old forests, noble rivers and peerless lakes, the latter 
in almost endless variety and beauty, meet the eye and 
gratify the sense wherever we go, while the falls of St. 
Anthony and Minnehaha, the Dalles of the St. Croix and St. 
Louis Rivers, Lake Superior and other points of interest af- 
ford a variety of scenery to be found nowhere else, in an 
equal extent of territory on this continent. Nearly every 
foot of ground in the State is rich in Indian romance and 
story, and the days or weeks spent by the tourist in follow- 
ing out these legends and in visiting the many battle grounds 
and historical localities will be time well spent and cannot 
fail to amply repay the searcher after the wierd and romantic. 

Minnesota has long been known as a sanitarium for the 
consumptive and others suffering from kindred ailments, 
and in innumerable cases have permanent cures been effected. 
The following excerpt from an article written by a noted 
physician, on this subject, expresses more clearly than we 
should be able to do, the opinion entertained by medical men 
as to the conditions and effects of this region. 

"Its position is so high that malarial diseases never origi- 
nate there ; its system of natural drainage is the most perfect 
in the world ; the typography and character of the soil indi- 
cate sanitary conditions of a high character; the rainfall is 
less than in any other State in the Union, and occurs almost 
entirely during the growing months; the air is dryer than 
in any other section, and the trifling moisture it contains 
more uniformly distributed. 

"But it is, perhaps, chiefly to the cool, invigorating air, free 
from impurities, and rich in ozone and oxygen, acting as a 
tonic on the system, invigorating the circulation, strength- 
ening the nerves, stimulating digestion, and promoting the 
nutritive functions, that Minnesota is fast becoming a con- 
sumptive sanitarium." 

Elsewhere will be found descriptions in detail of these 
famous Summer Resorts, with illustrations of the most im- 
portant points. 



EOUTES OF TRAVEL. 




T ^^ ^ this age of push and energy, rapid transit is a necessity. People, 
even when traveling for pleasure, will not ride on freight trains, nor 
in stage coaches, but demand luxurious accommodations and fast 
express trains. 

In presenting this pamphlet to the people of St. Louis and the Great South- 
west, we have only these objects in view: To present the attractions of Min- 
nesota as we find them, and to point out in an impartial manner the l)est route 
thereto, so that no one need be deceived. 

Heretofore a trip from St. Louis to Minnesota necessitated a change of cars 
in Chicago, and a long and disagreeable ride in an omnibus, an objection 
which has deterred hundreds, especially invalids, from visiting these famous 
resorts. To the latter class, this objection was a fatal one, but it has now, 
happily, been overcome. But which, you ask, is the shortest and best route 
from St. Louis to Minnesota points? Tlie question is one that can be easily 
answered: The St. Loui.s, Minneapolis & St. Paul Short Line, over which a 
Pullman Palace Sleeping Car is hauled daily between the cities named. 

This route has only just l)een opened to the public, but it is to be main- 
tained as a permanent addition to the railway facilities enjoyed by St, Louis, 
and has already reached a popularity unprecedented in railway history. 

The line is made up of the Rock Island and St. Louis Division of the Ci>i- 
■cago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad from St. Louis to Burlington, thence over 
the Burlington, Cedar Rapids & Northern, and ^Minneapolis & St. Louis Rail- 
ways to Minneapolis, forming the great " Iowa Route." 

The following table of distances shows the advantages possessed by this 
•over other routes : 

St. Louis to Chicago 283 Miles. 

Chicago to Minneapolis 420 " 

703 Miles. 

St. Louis to Burlington. 212 '' 

Burlington to Albert Lea 26S " 

Albert Lea to Minneapolis 108 " 

573 Miles. 

Difference in favor of the " Iowa Route "... 130 Miles. 



6 ROUTES OF TRAVEL. 

It will thus be seen that the line is very favorably situated as to distance. 
The difference in time is equally marked, and will so continue, whatev(!r other 
interested parties may claim. The time occupied in making the trip is now 
about twenty-six hours, which time will be materially shortened as the sea- 
son advances, as against thirty-four hours by competing roads. Will any one 
say that this is not the shortest and best route to Minnesota? 

It is the purpose of the managers of this line to popularize the Minnesota 
Resorts with the people of the Cotton States, and with this object the officers of 
the St. Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern, the Missouri, Kansas & Texas and 
other Southern roads, are in full accord. 

The companies mentioned have placed on sale at their principal coupon 
ticket offices throughout the entire South and Southwest, excursion tickets to 
Minneapolis and St. Paul at a greatly reduced rate, good until October 31st. 
Close connection is made with both the roads mentioned at St. Louis, and with 
the latter at Hannibal for these famous resorts. 




UNION DEPOT, ALBEKT 1.KA, jillJNiNE&uTA. 

The office of the Minneapolis, St. Paul & St. Louis Short Line in St. Louis,, 
is at 404 Pine street, under the famous Planter's Hotel, where Mr. Geo. ^V. 
Kerr, the Agent, will furnish any needed information, or will answer 
promptly and with pleasure any correspondence that may be addressed to him 
on the subject. 

We are indebted for some of the matter in this pamphlet, and for many 
favors, to Mr. A. S. Diamond, editor of the Sportsman ami Tourist, Minneapo- 
lis, a paper which should be in the hands of every person who has in contem- 
plation a visit to Minnesota, 



MIjN^KEAPOLIS. 





[IXXEAPOLIS, the northern terminus of the 
^ St. Louis, Minneapolis & St. Paul Short Line, 
is the first city in population and interest in 
Minnesota, and in consequence is the objective point 
of the tourist. The name of the city is derived from 
the Indian and Greek words "Minnie," signifying 
water, and "polls," city, or City of Waters, a most ap- 
propriate name, situated as it is on the Falls of St. 
Anthony, once a point of great natural beauty and 
charm, but now interesting only from a commercial 
standpoint, as one of the most, if not the most, power- 
ful improved water power in the world. 

The city has had a rapid and almost xmprecedented 
growth, until now its population reaches fully forty 
thousand souls Broad avenues, costly churches and pri- 
vate residences, magnificent public buildings and great 
manufacturers' institutions meet one on every hand, 
indicating a wide-awake, ambitious, go-ahead people 
In the days when a handful of pioneer settlers occupied the banks on the 
east side of the river, and the west side belonged to the Fort Snelling Reserva- 
tion, there was a romantic charm connected with this region that has given 
way to the bustle and clamor of business life. The Indians had not yet disap- 
peared from tlie scene, and the birch bark canoe and dug-out were familiar 
sights along the river The romances and traditions were yet fresh in the 
minds of the lingering savages, who were loath to give up their old liaunts and 
hunting grounds. But these, too, however, were almost forgotten by the old 
men and women who learned them in their youth while marking out their 
homes on this delightful spot, and were it not for tiie enthusiasm of the young 
and poetic minds of these days, theie would be no record of the deeds that were 
done here by the old occupants of the .soil 

Many days can be profitably spent in and around Minneapolis by the tourist 



MINNEAPOLIS. 



in visiting the numerous points of interest, among which are the great suspen- 
sion bridge across the Mississippi, very much handsomer in design and only 
one hundred feet shorter than the famous bridge at Niagara ; the Falls of St. 
Anthony; Lake Calhoun, a beautiful sheet of water four miles from the city, 

with Lakes Harriet, 
Cedar and other small 
lakes in the immedi- 
ate vicinity ; Bridal 
Veil and the Mineral 
Springs, just below 
the Falls of St. An- 
thony, on the east side 
of the river, and oth- 
er points of scarcely 
less importance. 

One of the famous 
trips which few tour- 
ists miss taking is 
that from Minneapo- 
lis to St. Paul by car- 
riage. Starting from 
the former place on 
the west side of the 
river, a pleasant drive 
of four miles over a 
level prairie, brings 
the traveler to 
" Where the Falls of Minnehaha 
Flash and gleam among the oak trees. 
Laugh and leap into the valley." 

Leaving Minnehaha, we come, three or four miles further on, to Fort Snell- 
ing, occupying a commanding position at the junction of the Mississippi and 
Minnesota Rivers. The Fort was built in 1820, and is, we believe, the oldest 
structure in the State. It is now occupied by a company or two of regular 
soldiers as a barracks and Government depot. A carriage road descends to the 
river 125 feet beloAv, where a rope ferry is maintained, and we are soon placed 
on the opposite side, and driving up the steep hillside we find a good, smooth 
road which leads to St. Paul. 

Several lines of railroad diverge from Minneapolis, reaching Lake Minne- 
tonka, White Bear, the Dalles of the St. Croix and other Resorts, on which trains 
are run during the season for the accommodation of the tourist at a reduced 
rate of fare for the round trip. 

Minneapolis has several large and commodious hotels, the leading one of 
which is the Nicollet, which is first class in all its appointments 





ST. PAUL. 



^1^0 the tourist and invalid, St. Paul offers many attractions. Tlie city is 
compactly built on a beautiful eminence overlooking the Mississippi 
River and Valley for many miles, both north and south, and is well 
supplied with good hotels— the finest of which is the Metropolitan— railway 
facilities, pleasant drives, pure water and many other attractions calculated to 
make a more or less protracted visit a pleasant memory in after life. 

Situated at the head of navigation on the Mississippi Rivei", with diverging 
lines of railway in every direction, with cheap river transportation, and an im- 
portance derived from the fact of the location of the State capital, St. Paul 
has long been, and still continues, the chief commercial city of the Northwest. 
Massive business blocks line her streets, and thrift and enterprise are every- 
where apparent. While Minneapolis is making rapid strides in manufactures, 
St. Paul, no less pretentious, with about the same population, holds the key to 
the mercantile interests of a vast empire of territory and is destined to be one 
of the leading cities of this great country. 

It is needless, in a work of this kind, to give any detailed description of a city 
of the character and importance of St. Paul, for, as a matter of course, the 
tourist will not leave the State without spending several days viewing the 
many points of interest in and about the city. 

Four miles from St. Paul, over a fine, hard, gravel road, is situated Lake 
Como, the fashionable resort of the denizens of the capital city, and a more 
beautiful spot does not exist, even in Minnesota. On a beautiful, cool Summer 
evening the drive to Como is most enchanting. But a short distance from the 
city is situated Carver's Cave, tlie site of the treaty between Jonathan Carver 
and the Indians, by which the title to large tracts of land were secured from 
the aborigines. Many other points of historical and natural interest can be 
found in the immediate vicinity of the city, so that tinie or interest will not 
lag. All of the leading rural resorts can be readily reached by lines of railway 
and steamboats, so that, if desired, headquarters can be made in the city, and 
short trips made in any direction 




LAKE MINNETOKKA. 




'^ 



'OURTEEN miles west of Minneapolis, and readily reached by the St. 



Panl & Pacific Eailway, both from St. Paul and Minneapolis, is Way- 
_ zata, the railroad station on Lake Minnetonka. As this village is the 
only point on the lake touched by the railroad, it occupies a position of some 
importance. It is the nearest point to the city ; has the advantage of railroad 
and telegraph facilities, communication by steamer with all parts of the lake, 
and in its immediate vicinity are some of the l)est fishing grounds in the State. 
The word " Minnetonka " is of Indian origin, and signifies " big water," a 
term which, to the aborigine, may have had, and doubtless did, a meaning ex- 
pressive of beauty as well as size, for it seems almrst impossible that the red 
man, stolid though he was, could have been entirely insensible to the beauties 
of this incomparable sheet of water. 

The lake extends from northeast to southwest, the extreme navigable length 
being seventeen miles. It is made up of a series of bays, some twenty-five in 
number, which are connected by inlets or estuaries, most of which are naviga- 
ble for steamers. These bays are of irregular shape, and their banks are cov- 
ered l)y a dense forest, except where the axe of the pioneer has cleared a spot 
for his fields, or the demands of the health and pleasure seeker have required 
the erection of summer homes. 



LAKE MINNETONKA. 



11 




UPPER LAKE MINNETONKA. 

Minnetonka was, in by-gone days, a favorite resort of the native Dakota, and 
its magic beauty made it a sacred spot to him. Its waters gave him room to 
float his frail birchen canoe, and supplied him plentifully with fish. The sur- 
rounding forests were filled with deer and bear; tlie islands were covered witli 
wild fruits, and the stately maple supplied the tribe wath sugar. The high 
wooded knolls, overlooking long vistas of lake, were occupied by them as cam^p- 
ing groimds, and it is but a few years since the smoke-colored tepee was a 
familiar sight to the settler. 

Up the lake on the opposite shore, and about four miles distant, is Excelsior, 
a village whicli has attained considerable popularity with tourists, on account 
of its quiet and secluded location and its charming surroundings. Xature h.is 
done her full share in preparing a site for a fine summer resort, and improve- 
ments are being rapidly made. Tlie town is situated on a fine rolling knob, 
commanding a magnificent view of a beautiful bay bearing the same name, 
which sets into tlie south shore of ]\rinnetonka about half a mile, connecting 
on the east with St. Alban's Bay. The town is well supplied with !ioteIs and 



13 



LAKE min:n^etoxka. 



boarding houses for the accommodation of about five hundred people, and is a 
pleasant place to live, it having the advantage of being away from the noise 
and bustle of railroad travel. Two or three fine steamboats ply on the lake 
between Excelsior and Wayzata and points on the Upper Lake, so that the visi- 
tor is by no means out of the world, but can obtain his morning paper a few 
hours after it is printed, his daily mail, and other advantages of the city. One 
other strong point in favor of Excelsior, is the fact that no liquor is sold in the 
town— thanks to the noble women who made a gallant fight at the recent mu- 
nicipal election, and carried the day against a determined opposition. At this 
place, as well as at all of the other leading Resorts, a fine fleet of both sail and 
row boats is provided for fishing parties and picnics. Steamboat excursions to 
the Upper Lake to Wayzata, or around some of the numerous islands with 
wdiich the lake is dotted, are of almost daily occurrence, and to miss these 
excursions is to miss one of the leading attractions. 

About two miles from Excelsior is Hull's Narrows, the connecting link 
between the two lakes. Upper and Lower Minnetonka — a narrow channel 
through a marsh, dredged deep enough to let the small steamers pass through. 
The Upper Lake is the larger of the two, and has its chief charm in the wild- 
ness of the scenery and the number of picturesque islands and jutting points 
which present many beautiful views. It is stated, and the statement appears 
reasonable to the visitor, that the lakes have over three hundred miles of coast 
within an extreme length of seventeen miles and some three or four in width. 
The lake is a constant pleasant surprise to the visitor, and when the time 
comes, as it will in the near future, when fine hotels and pavilions are built at 
the leading points along and around this vast body of water, they will be 
thronged with the elite and fashion drawn hither from many States. Minne- 
tonka has more natural beauty and is better situated to become a great Summer 
Eesort tlian any other lake in the Northwest if not in tlie entire country. 




HALSTEAU'S NAUKUWt-, LAKti JiIjnJNETuNKA. 



WHITE BEAR LAKE. 




IWELVE miles from Minneapolis, at the junction of the Minneapolis 
& St. Louis and St. Paul & Duluth Railways, is "White Bear, situated 
on the banks of a beautiful lake bearing the same name. The lake is 
nearly equi-distant from Minneapolis, St. Paul and Stillwater, thus enjoying a 
central location, easy cf access from the three largest cities in the State. 

White Bear Lake has many attractions not possessed by other Minnesota 
Resort?, and is very unlike any other lake that we have seen. It seems to have 
been placed in just the right spot, accessible from the large cities by a mere half 
hour's ride, and the transition from the bustle and confusion and heat of busi- 
ness to the cool shade, the crisp, green grass, the easy, soothing motion of the 
fairy yacht, is astonishing in its healthful effects upon old and young. Camp 
life, with all the accessories of rowing, sailing, fishing, hunting and out-door 
life generally, is probably more largely in vogue here than at any of the other 
rural resorts. 

The lake itself is a beautiful, clear sheet of water, three and one-half miles 
in length by two and three-quarters in width, with a beautiful island nestling in 
its center several acres in extent. The outline is indented with numerous bays 
forming about thirty miles of pebbly shore, where agates and cornelians can be 
secured in abundance. 

The town of White Bear is the only village of any importance on the lake, 
and is the stopping place of all tourists, the hotels being much above the 
average. 

We find the following interesting facts in regard to the early history of 
White Bear, in an article recently written by Hon. J. Fletcher Williams, Sec- 
retary of the Minnesota State Historical Society : 

" This neighl)orhood was, from time immemorial, a grand battle ground 
between the Chippewas and Dakotas. There is hardly a foot of soil around 
White Bear Lake that has not been ensanguined by the blood of these heredi- 
tary foes. Spirit Island seems to have been the most hotly contested ground, 
and to this day the remains of rifle pits, redoubts and parth-works are there to 
be found, while its soil was enriched by the innumerable warriors who were 
slain. It is a perfect Golgotha— an island cemetery. These fierce combats 



14 



WHITE BEAR LAKE. 




'^fc. 



continued as late as 1855, when a party of Sioux from Kaposia passed the lake 
on a hunting expedition. Near Oneka Lake, a few miles above, they encoun- 
tered the Chippewas, one of whom they killed and scalped, losing, however, 
two of their own braves by mortal wounds. They brought their wounded com- 
rades with them on lit- 
ters, and encamped on 
the banks of Goose Lake, 
^ just about where St. 
John's Church was after- 
ward erected, and held a 
scalp dance. They spent 
two days and nights in 
their infernal orgies, 
frightening women and 
children by shaking the 
reeking scalp of their 
(lead enemy above their 
heads. 

"During the early 
days of the white settle- 
ment the Indians were 
very troublesome. The 
Sioux claimed the right 
to hunt and fish and 
^H gather cranberries and 
^H rice, which were very 
'\ abundant. Game was so 
-^m plentiful that both Chip- 
M pewa and Sioux dreaded 
the idea of abandoning 
it. The lakes teemed 
with fish, aquatic fowl, 
muskrat and mink. The 
forest abounded w^ i t h 
bear, deer and other 
game, while wild rice 
and berries were plentiful in the lakes and marshes. It was to them Wa-se-cha 
—the land of plenty. Some idea of the abundance of game may be gained by 
a single instance. In the Winter of 1853-4, Little Crow, Red Iron and several 
other chiefs, who then had a village at Kaposia, camped at the lake with a few 
lodges. During the Winter, by actual count, they killed 1,265 deer. What 
wonder that game should grow scarce ! What wonder the red men should dis- 
like leaving their Wa-se-cha." 





FLIGHT or WILD GEESE, WHITE BEAR. 



WHITE BEAR LAKE.

"NThite Bear, and Spirit Island in its center, received their names from the 
following; legend: 

•' The strife between the Chippewas and the Dakotas had existed for many 
years. Occasionally the old men of the nations who had outlived the fire and 
fervor of hatred that existed in their youth, would grow wise and counsel 
peace. Though a boundary line was drawn between the grounds of the two 
nations, no regard was paid to it by either, until the Bad Spirit, discouraged at 
the death of so many youthful braves, decided to mark a fresh line between 
the hunting grounds of the two nations. Mounting liis monstrous charger he 
rode through the forests and wilds of Wisconsin and INIinnesota, crossing the 
St. Croix Piiver by a single leap, and clearing everything before him by the fire 
emitted from the nostrils of his flaming steed. Ilis route was marked by a line 
tliat was plainly visible, extending so as to divide this lake and leave a share of 
it for each nation. When he returned to his own dominions, the evi] one left a 
huge beast to guard the division of the lake. This line was respected for many 
years, and upon a renewal of the strife the Chippewas were victorious, and the 
Dakotas believed that the beast, Mah-to-me-di, was the cause of the success 
of their enemies. At last, one of the most stalwart Dakota chiefs re- 
solved to solve this mystery. The brave met the monster with arrows, re- 
treating the while, but soon reaching the bank of the lake, was brought to bay, 

and a terrific contest 
began. The hunter was 
covered with blood 
from his wounds, and 
the beast's white coat 
turned to crimson by 
the gore from the great 
gashes opened in his 
body by the warriors 
knife. At last, just as 
the sun was disappear- 
ing, the chief sum- 
moned all his strength 
for a final effort, and 
inflicted a blow tliat 
reached a vital spot, 
and sank to the ground, 
insensible of the vic- 
tory he had won. The 
lake soon came to be 
known as ' Mah-to-me- 
di,' from 'Mah-to,' 
white or polar bear, 
and ' Me-di,' lake. 

"The dead brave was 
buried, some believe, 
on the island, which 
henceforth became a 
sacred place in the eyes 
of the Dakotas. Ever after, during the fierce storms, when a flash of light- 
ning lighted up the inland, the Indian and his ghostly enemy could be seen en- 
gaged in mortal combat, and hence the name, also of Spirit Island." 





EDDY, DALLES OF THE ST. CROIX. 




THE DALLES OF THE. ST. CROIX. 

I HE Dalles of the St. Croix are easy of access from St. Paul or Min- 
neapolis, the journey (part rail and part boat) being accomplished in 
Vr^^l^ a single day. The tourist who wishes to make his visit to Minnesota 
complete must not fail to take a steamer on the St. Croix at Stillwater for 
Taylor's Falls, near which town are these rapids, falls and dalles. They 
extend for a distance of six miles, and, with a fall of sixty-three feet, giving a 
tremendous power that will some day be utilized for manufacturing purposes. 
Half a mile below the falls, one of the ranges of rocks rises into a perpen- 
dicular wall, on both sides of the river, and constitutes tlie Dalles of that 
stream. Between these the St. Croix rushes, at first with great velocity, form- 
ing a succession of whirlpools, until it makes a sudden bend, then glides along 
placidly, reflecting in its deep waters the dark image of the columnar masses 
as they rise towering above each other to the height of 100 to 170 feet. At the 
Dalles, forty or fifty feet above the level of the river, are large pot holes or 
natural wells, some of which are twelve to fifteen feet in diameter, and thirty 
to forty feet deep. These seem to have been worn in the solid rock by gravel 
and loose rocks kept in motion l)y circular currents of water, and afford 
evidence of the river having flowed formerly at a nigher level. 



THE DALLES OF THE ST. CiiOIX

The Dulles House, 
at Taylor's Falls, is a 
large house, almost 
new, comfortably and 
neatly furnished, and 
does much business in 
entertaining Summer 
tourists. 

From Taylor's Falls, 
a stage runs every 
morning to Wyoming, 
on the St. Paul & Du- 
luth Railroad, there 
connecting with trains 
reaching St. Paul and 
Minneapolis same day. 

The ride across this 
country is through the 
incomparable Chisngo 
County, over a rolling, 
well, timbered land, 
dotted with well-tilled 
farms, Avith here and 
tliere a large tract of 
forest or handsome 
grove. Half way 
across, are two of the 
most beautiful lakes 
in the State— Chisago 
and Green, each about 
five miles square and 
adjoining each other. 
Glimpses of thorn 
through an oak opening, as we ride along under a bright, blue sky, when innu- 
merable wild flowers add their bright hues to the living green, and the groves 
are musical with the voices of birds, inspire the visitor with the belief that 
this is almost Paradise. This way of return will greatly enhance the pleasure 
of the trip. 



DEVIL'S CHAIR, DALLT^S OF THE ST. CROIX. 



THE DAT.LES OF THE ST. LOUIS. 





jl^HERE is no other 
spot in Minnesota, 
and but few in this 
country, which can equal in 
natural curiosities the fa- 
mous Dalles of the St. Louis 
River. They present to the 
geologist, to the naturalist, 
or the ordinary traveler, food 
for study, inquiry and amuse- 
ment. The Dalles proper are 
about four miles long, be- 
tween Thompson and Fond 
du Lac, on the line of the St. 
Paul & Duluth Railroad, and 
being but a short distance 
from the track, are for the 
entire distance in plain view 
of the traveler as he passes 
by. The total descent of the 
river is 400 feet, and is dis- 
tributed in nearly equal por- 
tions to each quarter of a 
mile ; this succession of small 
cataracts, roaring and tumb- 
ling over a rocky bottom, 
continues its onward course toward 
Lake Superior, broadening to 300 feet 
in some places, then breaking forth 
with greater noise and tempestuous- 
ness, leaping and dashing over some 
rocky barrier, flaunting its white crest 
of foam in its fearfully rapid descent. 
The volume of water at its lowest 
stage has been accurately measured and found to 
be 288,000 cubic feet per minute. Inclosed as this 
river is between high, steep banks, covered with a 
forest of lofty pines, and in a comparatively un- 
settled country, it presents a singularly weird and picturesque 
appearance— a sight worth seeing by tourist, painter or 
If poet. 




I\ THE DALLES OF THE ST. LOUIS. 



LAKE SUPERIOE. 




>HE extent of 
Lake Superior 
is little known 
or realized. It cov- 
ers' an area of 32,- 
000 square mile?, 
andjbeing elevated 
630 feet above and 
a portion of its bed 
some 340 feet be- 
low the level of the 
Atlantic, forms 
the deepest known 
depression on the 
earth's surface, ex- 
cluding such por- 
tions as are cov- 
ered by oceanic 
waters. Its max- 
imum length from 
Gros Cap, at its foot, to Fond du 
Lac, at its head, is 355 miles, and 
its maximum width, from Grand 
Island, neai its center, to JTeepigon 
Bay, on the Canada side, is 160 
miles, and is the largest body of 
fiesh water known on earth. 

Its islands are almost number- 
less, in fact Capt. Bayfield reports 
a landing on 10,000, and he estimates the number 
in British and American waters as 30,000. Its 
northern or British shore is rocky, with numer- 
ous spacious bays and bold headlands, which ap- 
pear to be peaks or aiguilles connecting with the 
main rocks below. Of the larger class, are Thun- 
der Bay, Cape and St. Ignace, each 1,300 feet in 
height ; and Pie Island, at the outlet of Thunder Bay, rises to the height of 
850 feet, the two last composed mostly of igneous rocks, and the first a solid 
vertical body of slate, all presenting a bold and picturesque appearance. In 
the vicinity of its outlet, St. Mary's River, the Canada coast abounds in clus- 



CASCADE, PICTURED ROCKS. 



LAKK SUPERIOR. 21 

ters of small islands, which form a very attractive feature in the general land- 
; cape. 

Its waters are exceedingly cold, and in midsummer varying but few de- 
grees from midwinter temi^erature, and in twenty-fathom water, at eight feet 
depth, but four to six degrees, while in midlake, at a depth of six feet, but two 
degrees, and ro transparent that objects can be distinctly seen at seventy-five 
to one hundred feet depth in the calm, broad sunshine. 

Such is a partial description of what may be seen in this northerly section 
of our country. Steamers on the north shore take the traveler to Xeepigon 
Bay and River, with its bold, picturesque scenery and capital trout fishing, 
Fort Williams and Prince Arthur's Landing, the terminus of the Canadian 
Pacific Railroad, Silver Island and Thunder Cape, Pigeon River, with "its 
romantic falls, etc. On the south side, from Duluth, we first come to Bayfield 
and Ashland, flourishing towns, where fishing and boating can be had ; the 
Apostle Islands (a group of about twenty), Keewenaw Point, Hancock and 
Houghton, where the most famous copper mines of the world are located; 
Marquette, the shipping port of the iron district; the Pictured Rocks, one of 
the wonders of geology. And at the eastern end of the great lake, the famous 
Government Ship Canal, a fine and massive structure, having the largest ship 
canal lock in America. 

Those who desire, at a small expense, to have the real object of a Summer 
trip accomplished — a return of vigor and of appetite, the perfect repair of an 
exhausted body or mind, with the appreciated addition of continued changes 
of scene, with no fatigue, no dust, no anxiety of baggage, connections or hotel 
accommodations— will find it in the cool, clear and invigorating atmosphere of 
Lake Superior, in and out of its numerous ports, on steamers supplied with all 
the luxuries and modern improvements that can add to the comfort and 
pleasure of the traveling public. 

The St. Paul & Duluth Railroad, as its name indicates, connects the great 
commercial city of the Northwest— St. Paul— with the famed city Duluth, 
interest in which continues to attract the public, from the fact of its having 
been prominently advertised in past years as the eastern terminus of the 
Northern Pacific Railroad. 

Needless it is to make mention of the ten superb passenger steamers of the 
Lake Superior Transit Company— the deservedly popular Chicago steamers, 
of the People's Line, the "Peerless" and "J. L. Ilurd," or the capacious and 
comfortable "City of Duluth," from the same port. 

It is a fact admitted by the many who have availed themselves of this 
route, and cruised on this great inland sea, that no trip on this continent 
affords more real attraction for pleasurr, health or delightful scenerv. 



ALBERT LEA. 





FOUNTAIN LAKE, ALBERT LEA. 



jj^HIS young and sprightly city of 3,000 inhabitants is remarkable alike 
for its fine hotels, delightful scenery, bracing atmosphere and ex- 
citing sports. On a little horse-shoe peninsula, formed by a stream 
connecting two sparkling lakes, this live Western town is located, lifting her 
high towers of stately churches, fine residences and public buildings high 
above the surrounding and varigated foliage. 

These lakes nestle within their gently sloping and shady embankments, 
quiet as a Summer's dream, while the music of innumerable feathered 
songsters suggest the very poetry or romance of nature. 

The city is intersected by two lines of railroad— that of the Soutliern Min- 
nesota, an old and well-equipped road, running east and west, to and from 



ALHERT J.KA. 



3;j 



liU Crosse, Wis., while the north and south line is formed by the junction of 
the Burlington, Cedar Rapids & Northern, and the Minneapolis & St. Louis 
Railwaj's, making a new and popular trunk line, courteously conducted, and 
amply supplied with palace coaches. Over these roads, six passenger trains 
arrive and leave daily. 




HALL HOUSE, ALBERT LEA. 



Lieut. Albert Miller Lea, a dashing and brilliant ^oung otlicer, conducted- 
in ISO"), a detachment of United States topographical engineers in search of 
the then hidden mysteries of the Great Northwest. On a sultry afternoon, in 
the month of August, Lieut. Lea halted and rested his command upon the 
shady bank of one of these enchanting lakes, and was so impressed with it.s 
beauty that he gave it special prominence in his work afterward published. 
Data from this was freely used in making up the first map of this then unset- 
tled region; and in acknowledgment of the favor, Lieut. J.ea's name was at- 
tached to this beautiful body of water. In turn, the first settlers still further 
honored his memory in selecting a name for their embryo city, and thi;.s we 
have the origin of this singular cognomen. 

Lieut. Lea, referring to this locality, said: "We passed through that 
beautiful region of lakes, woodland and prairie, in which the headwaters of 
two rivers intertwine, and came upon an elevated promontory overlooking one 
of the most beautiful sheets of water I have ever seen." 

Among the many delightful drives to and around these charming lakes 
may be mentioned those leading to Itasca, along Fountain, St. Nicholas, Shell 
Rock and Hayward; along Albert Lea, Pickerel Lake, Alden, Lakes Freeborn, 
Geneva, Chapeau, Twin and Nunda, upon the bank of any of which may be 
found refreshing shade and delightful picnic grounds. 



^4 ALBERT LEA. 

This enterprising and rapidly growing little city is fast taking rank as one 
of tlie leading resorts of the Northwest, and we predict that the time will soon 
<^ome when it will be as well known as many of her more pretentious rivals 
are at the present time. There is no end of lovely landscape, and nowhere else 
in Minnesota have we ever seen land and water spread out in proportions 
more natural nor in form more attractive. People come from the great South 
and from the East to find in this new field rarer sports, and under these radiant 
Northern skies the fullness of abounding healthful life and vigor. 

The hotels, the leading adjuncts of a Summer Resort are first-class. The 
Hall House, a view of which we give with our illustrations, has long been 
noted for its excellent cuisine, and while it is not the largest, we believe it is 
acknowledged to be the best hotel at a rural resort in the State. At this pop- 
ular caravansary, the tourist can rest assured that he will receive all the com- 
forts of a home. A tour through Minnesota would not be complete in any 
isense without at least a short stay in this beautiful little city.
